Our family loves to enjoy local food during our family vacations so this tour caught my eye because it stated that it starts with a Dim Sum breakfast. Yummy!!! So we looked forward to it with high anticipation. We were not disappointed at all on the contrary we had a great day with Lucy. Breakfast choice was really nice and abundant. Lucy is a very competent guide and gave us a lot of insides at every stop of the tour. She took a lot of pictures of us at all the stops (we asked her, as we love to have those memories). The heat and humidity were incredible, but Lucy made the day go fast and interesting. At the end she was very kind to get us a taxi to the Drum Tower and select a fantastic local lunch restaurant for us. We learned about the DiDi app...the Uber of China. What a save!
We loved our day with Lucy and we highly recommend her. She’s very easy to interface with because her English is very good and she is very knowledgeable. Great cultural tour if you want to understand a bit more of the complicated Chinese history beyond the classic touristy areas of Beijing!

We had an amazing tour of the Confucius Temple and Lama Temple, starting with breakfast of dumplings. Our guide, Jing, was the best we could ask for! She was so knowledgeable and gracious. This was perfect for our family.
